• Disappointments

  Well, didn't really do anything during for Halloween this year. There was a brief office party on Thursday. Absolutely nothing happened on Friday (including, as I half expected, no trick-or-treaters, probably due to me living in an apartment complex off of two major highways). There's a party tonight run by two of the people from Capoeira. I don't have much of a costume on hand (I wore an inflatable baby costume to work that I'd bought years ago as an after-Halloween special, but I found it was far too bulky to move around in much. I can't seem to find my Phantom mask. And I can't exactly pull off the Goth Anne costume what with currently growing out a beard for Babes in Toyland), but I'll probably try to cobble something together and show up. Eh. I also fired up Kingdom Hearts 2 again. I had put it down some time ago because it kept freezing at this one point in the game and I hadn't unpacked my Game Doctor to try to fix the disc. Well, I found it and ran the disk through. And... it freezes in the exact same spot, right after the visit to the Haunted Mansion in the beginning as Roxas. I've tried approaching from different angles. I've tried skipping the cutscenes. Nothing doing... it goes to black and I get a few clicks from the PS2 as it tries to read but fails. I did some poking around online and apparently this game has problems with various PS2 models and there's really not much you can do short of playing that section on another PS2. *sigh* Well, life.

  Oh, and NaNoWriMo started today. I just now remembered. Which means I'm probably going to start out a little behind on my novel... although no time like the present to put some work in on it.
